ANTIREFILLABLE BOTTLE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Cnovanno LUKAG, a subject of the King of Hungary,residing at Yukon, in the county of \Vestmoreland and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inAntiretillable Bottles, of which the following is a specification,reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to an anti-refillable bottle, and the objects ofmy invention are to tarnish a bottle or other receptacle with a novelclosure, which when broken passes longitudinally of the bottle withoutcommingling with the contents thereof, and to furnish a bottle or otherreceptacle with a longitudinal conduit that is normally closed wherebythe bottle cannot be surreptitiously filled.

Further objects of my invention are to provide an antia'efillable bottlethat eliminates the nefarious practice of unscrupulous merchants inrefilling bottles that once contained a popular brand with an inferiorproduct and disposing of the same as the original goods, and to providea bottle of the above type that is simple in construction, durable, andhighly etiicient :for the purposes for which it is intended.

I attain the above and other objects by a mechanical construction thatwill be here-- inaifter specifically described and then claimed, andreference will now be had to the drawing, wherein Figure 1 is a verticalsectional view of a bottle in accordance with this invention, and Fig. 2is a horizontal sectional view of the same.

Further describing my invention in detail with reference to theaccompanying drawing wherein like numerals denote corresponding partsthroughout: 1 denotes, by way of an example, a bottle having a neck 2and a bottom 3. The neck 2 is partially closed, as at l and providedwith a small opening 5. This opening is normally closed by a countersunkcap 6, preferably made of breakable, transparent material, as glass orcelluloid. The cap can be secured to the Specification of LettersPatent.

closed end of the neck 2 by cement or other material, or in someinstances it can be formed integral with the closed end of the neck. Thebottom 3 of the bottle is formed integral with a longitudinal tubularstem or conduit 7 that extends into the neck 2 and is provided with atfunnelshaped mouth 8. The inner walls of the conduit 7, intermediatethe ends thereof, have an annular seat or enlargement 9, :for a stopper10 that made of rubber or other yieldable material. The stopper 1.0 iscarried by a rod 11 arranged in the outer end of the conduit and saidrod has a finger piece in the form of a ring 12 that is housed withinthe lower end of the conduit.

To open the bottle it is necessary that the cap 6 be broken and as thisis accomplished the pieces of the cap fall into the tunnelshaped mouth Sof the conduit 7 and then by removing the stopper the pieces of the capcan be entirely removed from the conduit. The conduit 7 permits of airentering the neck 2 of the bottle to facilitate in pouring the contentsof the bottle.

As indicated, the structure can be made of a vitreous material, asglass, and theprinciple of the invention can be embodied in a jug orother receptacle.

\Vhat I claim is In an antirefillable bottle, a body portion providedwith a neck including a thin transparent. breakable closure therefor, a0011- duit open at each end, integral with the bottom of the bodyportion and extending into said neck, that portion of the conduitprojecting into said neck having a tunnelshaped mouth to receive saidcap when broken, the wall of said conduit, intermediate its ends,provided with an annular shoulder, a removable stopper anchored withinsaid conduit by said shoulder, and means to facilitate the removal ofsaid stopper.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.
